There and Back Again

Thursday

Frisbee In Distress - Turkish Translation Included!

I am sitting at the computer, looking out the window at our neighbor's bull. He is as ornery as any bull should be, but our neighbors don’t keep him in the barn like the other folks. They picket him on a little peg, in their field, which is about twenty steps from our front door. Now, just a little earlier, my younger brother threw our Frisbee in front of this bull, just about two feet in front of him. I keep thinking it would be best for me to just go out and get it but then I remember what happened to the neighbor boy last week when he tried to mess around with this particular creature- he got chased all over the valley! Now, even though getting chased is not the worst thing in the world, I am really not in the mood and this young bull is growing horns, too. So, how do I rescue this Frisbee?

 

For those of you who have asked me to write a Turkish post, I have translated this into Turkish:

 

Burada oturup pencereden dýþardaki komsumuzun boðasýný seyrediyorum. Þu boða altý aydan daha yetiþkindir ve, tabiiki çok huysuz ve ters ama bizim komþularýmýz, boðalarýný ahýra baðlamýyorlar. Dýþardaki küçük bir çiviye baðlýyorlar ve boða bizim evimizden sadece on metre uzaklýktadýr. Þimdi, az önce küçük kardeþim Frisbeemizi tam boðanýn önüne attý. Ben de “sadece gidip alsam daha iyi olmazmý?” diye düþünüyorum, ama ondan sonra komþu cocuða ne olduðunu hatýrlýyorum. Boðaya yaklaþýnca, boða onu koþturmuþdu. Ben de koþabilirim, tabiiki ama þimdilik gerekten istemiyorum. Oysa, nasýl þu Frisbeeyi alacaðým?

Thank you!

The word for Frisbee in Chinese is "fei pan" -- flying dish! That is one that I know off the top of my head, because it's so funny. :D

Yeah, getting chased by a bull would not be very good.

I don't know how to get the Frisbee... it sounds like you're on the horns of a dilemma.

I am new at blogging and I was wondering if you wanted to be friends, I love your blog by the way. And do you really know Turkish or did you just translate it somehow on the computer?

I think this is excellent that you can post in Turkish. Please be very careful, though. My husband and I started a blog in Polish to help the 20 or so homeschoolers in Poland - and it was shut down after an 'English only' request from Gena.

Love your blog, keep writing - both of you! :)

Friday - So, did you ever get it back?

Posted by ThreeLittleLadies
How did you learn your Turkish? Did you take special lessons? Was it harder to learn the language while being homeschooled or do you get enough exposure that it wasn't a problem? Inquiring minds want to know. Ignore me if I'm being too nosey.

The Myth

"The value of the myth is that it
takes all the things we know and
restores to them the rich
significance which has been hidden
by the veil of familiarity . . .
By putting bread, gold, horse, apple
or the very roads into a myth,
we do not retreat from reality:
we rediscover it. As long as the
story lingers in our mind,
the real things are more themselves.
[The Lord of the Rings]
applies the treatment not only
to bread or apple but to good and evil,
to our endless perils, our anguish
and our joys. By dipping them in myth
we see them more clearly. I do not
think [Tolkien] could have done it
in any other way.”
- C.S. Lewis
